field. From Springfield the unfortu-
nate man was removed to Tracy, his
home, for treatment. Supt. Bidwell
procured nurse from the St. Alexan-
der's Hospital, to take charge of the pa

If you wish your town to prosper
and be prosperous yourself, you must
patronize home industry. If you are in
need of any commodity and the same
is manufactured or for sale here, don't
sent to another town for it, but buy at
home. There are number of persons
in every town, and New Ulm has its
share of them, who will send to some
larger city for almost every thing they
need. They do this under the mistaken
idea that they can buy cheaper and bet
ter elsewhere than at home. They don't
give the home merchant !, chance to
price them goods in large quantities,
such as they buy outside, but reckon
from the price they have to pay in
small quantities. They never figure on
freight, drayage and exchange. The
only figuring they do is, for instance,
coffee costs us 20 cents per single pound
in New Ulm, in Chicago we can buy
the same quality for Is cents. But they
do not think of the fact that, in order to
get coffee for Is cents in Chicago they
have to buy 200 pounds at once, that
freight costs one cent per pound, dray-
age at both ends about one fourth cents
making the cost 164 cents. If they will
go to the home grocer and ask him how
much he will charge for 200 pounds of
coffee, he will probably ask them 16
cents per pound, thereby saving the
purchaser one fourth of a cent per
pound and still realizing q little profit
for himself. The same argument holds
good for all classes of merchandise.
Buy the same quality and quantity Of
